<TITLE>04. Par 10-12</TITLE>L-10 Now, I suppose... I believe we usually close around one o'clock, isn't it, or something like? One or two o'clock in the morning, gives us about time to close...?... hold the services for... Sometimes, is that...?... Now, don't leave; I was just teasing. I was just teasing about that. Usually we let out about nine or nine-thirty and then... with the prayer line. So I think that's with the all... The custodians, I guess, tell us how much or how long we can keep the auditorium open or whatmore.
Now, you must get on the phone. You must get to calling the people, and--and let's... Tell you now... I going to tell you how that we, I believe, that we run the meeting or with the brethren.
And remember, any time that you feel that you want to have someone to be prayed for, any of these brethren here, they believe the same Gospel that I'm here preaching to you. And your pastor's just got as much right to pray for you as anyone else.
Here we just come together. I believe it's written in the Scripture, the Lord said, "If the people that's called by My Name, shall assemble themselves together and pray, then I'll hear from heaven, heal their land."

L-11 So we believe that prayer is the most powerful weapon that was ever put in the care of a human being. You know, prayer one time changed the mind of God. Did you know that? It sure did.
Hezekiah was told by Isaiah the prophet, that he was going to die on that bed. And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and wept bitterly, and asked the Lord for--for fifteen more years of life. And God sent the prophet right back, and said, "I've heard." And he was spared for the time. See? When God had already announced his death. But He spared him, because that he prayed. So if prayer is that powerful, what can it do? My, we don't realize how great it is.

L-12 Now, all along through the meeting... As each night we try to lay down a foundation. Then when someone comes in maybe a little later on, maybe tomorrow night, then maybe the next night, some newcomers come in, they might see something taking place that they'd say, "Well, I just don't understand." Then if they don't, then you take the Scriptures and show them by.
And now, if you ever see any action here at the platform, or anything that I speak on the platform here that's not absolutely the Scripture, then you're duty bound to me as a Christian to call my attention to it. Because I do believe that God does things that's not written in the Word. I believe He could--He could do anything He wishes to. He's God.
But just as long as He does what He's promised to do, that'll be enough for me: just--just keep His promise. I--I like that. And I do believe that the Word of God is the Foundation; I believe it is the Word of God. And it's my stand, my life. And all my faith is based on the Word.
